Grilled Mackerel with Sicilian Caper Tomato Sauce

SERVES: 6  

Ingredients

  • 1 lb new potatoes
  • 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
  • 1 garlic clove (large), thinly sliced
  • salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 3/4 lb ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch dice, or 3 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3 tbsp capers
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, plus wedges for serving
  • 4 mackerel filets*, with skin (about 6 oz each), pin bones removed

Directions

Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and let cool slightly, then cut into quarters.

In a medium skillet, heat the 3 tablespoons of oil. Add the potatoes and cook over high heat until lightly browned in spots, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until the potatoes are browned and the garlic is crisp, about 3 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.

Heat a grill pan. In a bowl, toss the tomatoes, capers and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Brush the mackerel with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill over high heat for 7 minutes, turning once, until lightly charred and cooked through. Transfer the fish to plates and top with the salsa. Serve the potatoes alongside.
